General Notes: Husband - Anthony Bierly, Jr.

---

He was but a child at the time of the removal to Centre County, Pennsylvania. He learned the blacksmith's trade in Aaronsburg, and fol­lowed it for many years in Brush Valley and later in Rebersburg. His parents were well-to-do, and gave a liberal start in life to all the other chil­dren; but owing to some misunderstanding he re­ceived little if any assistance from them. He succeeded, however, and had an extensive business, employing several hands. Of large build and active temperament, he was capable of doing an immense amount of work; but although he made a great deal of money he never became wealthy, as his kind and generous disposition was often imposed upon to his loss. He was a stanch Democrat, and a leader in many local movements, serving for some time in the Home Militia as chief musician.
